§1 Human · 0%

Tables include countries with at least 100,000 IPv4 addresses and 20,000 km² of land.

§2 Human · 0%

Method: area as IPv4 = (country's IPv4 addresses ÷ world IPv4 addresses) × world land area.

§3 Mixed · 50%

Land area is computed from the map geometry, so it's the 1:110m Natural Earth outline, not official figures. Antarctica excluded. About 70 small territories have no outline at this resolution and are left out (around 52M addresses, mostly Hong Kong, Singapore and Mauritius).

§4 Mixed · 50%

IPv4 counts come from the IP Trust geolocation database, October 2026.
